Today, working with one of the most respected data sources in the industry, the Center for Responsive Politics, we’re making presidential campaign finance information easy to access and understand, right from Google Search. So when you search for “donald trump” or “clinton campaign finance”, you’ll see a snapshot of their campaigns’ finance breakdown and be able to dig into interesting insights, like the percentage of funds coming from SuperPACs versus individual donations, or which industries have donated the most to a given candidate.

In addition, Google Search can now display search trends for specific candidates. Users will be able to see data on how other people have searched for each candidate over time.
